"You shall love the Lord your God with ALL your heart, with ALL your soul, and with ALL your strength." .
"You shall teach them (the commands of the Lord) diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.
..."when the Lord your God brings you into the land... to give you large and beautiful cities which you did not build, houses full of all good things, which you did not fill, hewn-out well which you did not dig, vineyards and olive trees which you did not plant- when you have eaten and are full- THEN beware, lest you forget the Lord.... who brought you out of the land and the house of bondage.
"You shall fear the Lord your God and serve Him...
"You shall not go after other gods, the gods of peoples who are ALL AROUND YOU...
"And you shall do what is right and good IN THE SIGHT OF THE LORD, that it may be well with you.....
Deuteronomy chapter 6, selected verses.
Love Him with absolutely everything you are. As we heard this Sunday, it's ALL of you for ALL of Him. Anything less than that, it just doesn't work. Parenting is a tough job. I have got some serious work cut out for me. The rewards are well worth it. Have a blessed day. Take every opportunity you have to be reminded of what has been done for us. Share it! It's wonderful news, full of hope... full of life.... full of meaning for all those who choose to believe.
